There are so many routes to our resistance. We’re highlighting opportunities to ensure the the Blue Wave in CA-49.

This Week’s Target: CA-49California House District 49, along the northern coast of San Diego county, should be a great opportunity this year for us to turn blue. And it will – but only if we can get a Democrat on the ballot. California’s top two primary system advances the two top vote-getters, irrespective of party affiliation. While the idea of this “jungle primary” system was to encourage moderates to reach out across party lines, it also presents a danger: if either party advances too many credible candidates, they may work against each other to split the vote, putting two candidates from the opposing party on the ticket instead.

That’s the danger now in CA-49. Its current Representative is Republican Darryl Issa, who only won reelection in 2016 by 1,621 votes as the district went for Hilary by over 7 points. The Cook Political Report rates the district “Leans Democratic”. Seeing the writing on the wall earlier this year, Issa decided to retire. The upside is that an open race should be easier to win. The downside is that there are now a number of both Democrat (4) and Republican candidates (8) in the race, creating the split-ticket risk.

The solution? Make sure we turn out as many Democratic voters as we can on June 5th! We’ve included three ways – easy, moderate and All-In – for you to choose from below. Please help us get ready to turn CA-49 blue by getting a Democrat on the ticket. This final week before the primary is critical!

Here are ways for you to build the wave:
